ORLANDO, Fla. – A nonprofit dedicated to helping Orlando seniors is asking for the community to help deliver meals.

The time commitment is about 1 1/2-2 hours one morning every week, but there's also an option to split one route among a group of friends or co-workers so they can alternate shifts.
Aside from providing meals to seniors who are unable to prepare meals otherwise, Seniors First stresses that it also serves as a safety check and helps combat isolation.
Potential volunteers must be at least 18 years old, have a valid driver’s license, insurance and reliable transportation.
